Gay Maine: Ogunquit USA.
sydney on Aug 12th 2009
I just read that anti-gay activists in Maine have collected enough signatures to bring up the issue of gay marriage before voters this November. Maine is one of the top visited gay and lesbian destinations in the US, and I wonder what the future will hole for this seaside state if the decision is overturned.
Ogunquit, Maine, is on the coast of Maine near Boston, and has been a favourite spot for gay and lesbian travelers for a long time now. Ogunquit has miles of gorgeous sandy beaches, and a number of gay and lesbian hotels, bars, lounges and restaurants. If you visit gay Maine in the summer, you’ll find it energetic and packed with tourists. Go there in the winter, and it’s an idyllic, peaceful place away from the hectic pace of everyday life.
Ogunquit means “beautiful place by the sea” in the language of Algonquin Indian. We’ve heard good reviews for the gay friendly Moon Over Maine (22 Berwick Road, Ogunquit), which is right in the centre of town, so you’ve close to all the shopping, restaurants, clubs and the beach. The roomy Cape-style house was built in 1839, but decorated with modern decor and comfy beds and linens. Features at Moon Over Maine include several private balcony rooms, an outdoor hot tub, and a light breakfast.
